We used mosaic genetic variants as "barcodes" to answer a decades long question in dev bio: whether neural crests have fate specified before leaving the neural tube. Work done in human tissues, mice, and also quails. Findings published today in @Nature. Huge thanks to the team!

Check out our new publication at https://t.co/Cj588ZClMc on Developmental organization of sensory and sympathetic ganglia, by @HarryKiv @shishenyxx and amazing collaborators.

@sebatlab @jogleeson_ucsd @SimonsFdn Thanks @sebatlab !

[Harry Keng Ioi Vong @HarryKiv]

Thanks Joe! This won’t be possible without your mentoring and unwavering support!

[Joseph G. Gleeson @jogleeson_ucsd]

Congrats @SimonsFdn 2025 Fellows-to-Faculty Awardees, especially @HarryKiv from @jogleeson_ucsd lab (red). Harry was selected based on his proposal to map origins of neural crest derived neurons in #autism relevant conditions. https://t.co/Qwzgq2djsu

[Joseph G. Gleeson @jogleeson_ucsd]

Check out our new resource paper @CellStemCell, where we present a brain organoid atlas of human neurodevelopmental disorders. Surprising was that nearly all patients had abnormal organoids. The challenge was aligning defects to clinical. https://t.co/0YtGTd4Dwb

@StefanoBerto83 Thanks!

[Harry Keng Ioi Vong @HarryKiv]

I’m super honored to receive this transition grant award from @SimonsFdn also huge thanks to the unwavering support from @jogleeson_ucsd and team!

[Simons Foundation @SimonsFdn]

Announcing our nine new Fellows-to-Faculty Fellows! These awards help senior postdoctoral researchers with fresh perspectives on autism and neuroscience transition to tenure-track faculty positions: https://t.co/aXJq9Fvhvw #neuroscience #autismresearch #science @SillitoeLab @JingwenLi18 @Phi_hD @HarryKiv @zhaozhilei

#DBfeature #InMemoriam
Remembering Dr. Paul Kulesa's (1962–2025) pioneering work on neural crest development, which has profoundly impacted neuroscience & pediatric cancer. A huge loss to the DB community. His recent work on chick & mouse neural crest.

@homamajd Wow awesome work! Congrats!

[Joseph G. Gleeson @jogleeson_ucsd]

Check out our new paper in @nature https://t.co/cI3YCh7X1g. We report genetic mechanisms of neural tube defects in patients. Spina bifida is also known as meningomyelocele (MM). Prior family-based and association studies found few linked genes, so we took a different approach.

It was an absolute pleasure to join this exciting collaboration re-examining neural crest cell migration with @jogleeson_ucsd @HarryKiv & @shishenyxx. And a great effort by @Yanina61831716 & @wang_jianxiong to track in vivo NCC migration in the quail embryo @IMBatUQ 🇺🇸🇦🇺🧍‍♂️🐁🐥

[Joseph G. Gleeson @jogleeson_ucsd]

Our new study updates 50-year-old models of developmental #neuralcrest cell migration, using mosaic variant analysis in human, mouse and quail. @MelanieDWhite @HarryKiv @shishenyxx https://t.co/0vgdxsisjl

[BioSkryb Genomics, Inc. @bioskryb]

Preprint alert!
Along with other cutting-edge approaches, read how Vong et al. used ResolveOME-enabled single nucleus DNA and RNA analysis, allowing for the simultaneous identification of cell type and genotype. https://t.co/z7S3vXae3x

Thrilled to share latest preprint studying the events prior to trunk neural crest delamination using mosaicism, CRISPR barcode and live imaging. Thx support from my postdoc mentor @jogleeson_ucsd and amazing collaboration @shishenyxx @MelanieDWhite

@biorxiv_devbio Check out our new biorxiv post focused on origins of neural crest-derived peripheral nervous system ganglia! We used mosaic variant barcode analysis to resolve clonal lineage in humans.
